these rhythms are absolutely out of this world! They are literally on another level to europeanized singular rhythm 4/4 confinement of LIFE!

Google: Top 3 quotes of BUTTERFLY McQUEEN. She grew up thinking skin color was a CULTURE too but it is NOT. EVERONE no matter OUR shade, shape & culture IS the ONE human RACE.

@@goldbluetears why you gotta make this a comparison between Europeans and Africans? Not a healthy way to think and obviously opens the door to other comparisons

@@Sampsonoff why not in terms of rhythm this is uniquely african and in europe nowhere to be found except some hints of it in mediterranian cultures but that is due to african and islamic influences. Polyrhythmic complexity is totally alien to central europe. Its a fact.

@@goldbluetears tbh I live in an area with a lot of white supremacists (northern Idaho, southern BC) and they are always playing the comparison game. But obviously using it to show how technologically, academically, etc superior Europeans are. And I’m always the one arguing that it’s dumb to compare people like that because of all the other factors that created the differences. So it’s a neat fact you shared about the superiority of their rhythms in this case, I just think it triggers a tribal mindset that can lead to terrible ways of comparing/analyzing different races

@A.Y please can you provide the link to this article, thanks 😊

Tell us the article please

Mainly their granddaughters.

Thank you sis.

Thanks!

Thank you so much 🖤🇳🇬

I was just vibing and was happy to see another Jamaican showing live in the comments.

some Jamaicans actually share ancestry with they Igbos, you might have some Igbo blood in you

Learn your truth history not just saying I must come from igbo people, go killed your European accent or go claim your european kemet.

Damn right! 😁👍

Noooobody 👏🏿

Plenty of people can

@@serenitybeats1677 often imitated, never duplicated

Me too 🥰

Your interest is in Biafran culture, wrongly miscalled "Nigerian".

I feel the same way.

ANY Year's BLACK History month excludes the rest of the human race just as St Patrick's day excludes the rest AS WELL so how bout feeling insulted because the truth is we are only the ONE human race and creation process decides the beautiful shapes and shades of the ONE human race> i say human history month is what is best to feel proud of and so i celebrate it > EVERY SINGLE MONTH.

Human History fyi. Google: A Historical Account of the Conceptual Evolution of Satan in the Abrahamic Belief Traditions. Google: From Diamon to Demon: the Evolution of the Demon from Antiquity to Early Christianity. Google: Adam name etymology. Google: The female egg chooses the male/ not the other way around. Google: Why Moses did not write the Torah. Google: 194 Bible contradictions. Google:17-Quran contradictions. Google: Edward Austrain. Because passed down traditions can deceive.

@@google12greekmythsthatprove. Ironically, it is the "contradictions" that makes the Bible so believable to me. Some of them are so obvious that anyone trying to concoct a story would have edited them out.

@@annefranciselizabeth3840 No, HUMAN HISTORY is simply THAT and one can not have CONTRADICTIONS when it comes to the FACT that there never was a DEVIL or a DEMON or some HELL and in case you have not NOTICED it > the BIBLE and the Quran are BASED off FICTION not mixed up FACTS > how can one curse if there is no such thing as a DEVIL or a DEMON? Man made religions are not to even to be considered truth and would not hold up in the court of LAW because CONTRADICTION has a DEFINITION Google CONTRADICTION DEFINITION: ONE being > STATEMENTS of a position OPPOSITE to one ALREADY MADE so READ and STUDY for truths and not settle for lies unless you like being a PUPPET. CONTRADICTIONS means LIES and important TRUTHS are being HIDDEN from our HUMAN HISTORY and no matter the culture LIES are only DECEITE not ever TRUTH.

Where are you from? Are nigerian abroad?

I've just learned that some of the slaves were from this area to Haiti

@@Alexis-ed8km Yes, they're mostly from Igbo tribe.

Most Africans in Diaspora that hailed from Nigerian regions were Igbo and Yoruba tribesmen.

Wait for Biafra, then you would have a first-world nation in a third world continent.

There are different names for different types of shakers but the most popular are the calabash or gourd shaker (ichaka) and the basket shaker (nyọ).

@@annefranciselizabeth3840 Thank you, Sis 🖤🤲🏾

We call it Ichaka

Watch the subtitles: "Ije Nwayo" means "go slowly" in Igbo

@@ADEP good idea! I'll watch with subtitles. Wow really, thank you!

They're simply saying 'walk slowly' more like a cat walk. The song is performed by female dancers only; adolescent girls.

We are currently working on preparing interviewers with all group members so that information will be available soon.

The interviews with the dancers are now available. The lead dancer is Onyinye Ezema. Please search for "Agbani-Nguru" on KZfaq and all of the interviews and performances will come up.

​@@ADEP Thank you so much for your speedy response and the beautiful interviews you've uploaded. It was a joy to be introduced to the amazing ladies as well as the wonderful musicians who did such an extraordinary job in this performance! I am very grateful that you have created this channel. It's soo necessary for our people to see, preserve, and share these arts. I look forward to more captures of these beautiful expressions of our heritage.

What was wrong with it?

This is Nkanu dance with ikorodo music

Ify help me tell them oh instead of them learning how to dance their own cultural music they're busy throwing away their culture and promoting another people's cultural dance.

@@ifynwamma Ok, thanks

Please allow them to dance they way the are capable

Ikorodo is known as the "Maidens' Dance" so it typically danced by young unmarried women. However, today young men are also learning it in churches and schools. Here is an example: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fL18Zs142pO2d4E.html

The young men usually have their own dances or they do the masquerades. The Igbo society in the past was highly stratified along the lines of gender and age and for this reason, they had an age grade political and cultural system. These units act independently, and have their own regulations, specific manifestations and unique roles they play in the Igbo society. For this reason, it is not uncommon when each of these units present themselves to the society, they more often than not, are more likely to be observed as some homogeneous units of these aforementioned strata, with the some defining performances among the concerned groups be it, in their traditional dances or other necessary cultural practices.. Therefore, women groups are likely to project their own performances via their own strata and one way of doing this maybe in practising and creation of a unique dance which represents the perculiar culture of a community such performances are most often initiated from the young daughters at their prenuptial ages. The same can also, be said of the male units. The presence of the older men here maybe for commercial reasons. They were probably contracted for their versatility in playing the musical instruments or whole dance may have been created as a distinct commercial enterprise to provide entertainments and diversions during important traditional ceremonies.

Do you mean Orba? We also have videos of that group

Everyone has their own it's not a competition

Kudos to origins.

@@google12greekmythsthatprove. did ikorodo originate from Orba in udenu? It's just like saying ogene originated from aniocha or that masquerades originated from Izu ọgụ

@@ebusnneji5482 Thank you for your response.
